There are two types of recipes on Chef Bolek. The first type are my own personal creations, which I have dubbed "Chef Bolek Originals." You can tell which recipes are my own personal creations because those recipes are followed by (CB). The second type of recipes are those that I have found in cookbooks or on the Internet during my spare time. I make sure that I include the attribution for the recipe in the blog post, usually with the recipe itself. Sometimes, the recipes are an amalgamation of multiple recipes, with no recipe being the principal one that I followed. In that case, I probably did not cite any particular recipe or the source of the recipe is self-evident from the blog post.
Finally, a cookbook does not contain every recipe by the cook or chef. This page contains the most popular recipes, along with the most recent recipes and some of my personal favorites. If you want to see all of the recipes that have been posted on this blog, you can check out the Recipe Vault. I hope you enjoy these dishes as much as I did creating and/or making them.
